From Coffee to Martini's

Posted 10 September, 2008, at 12:04PM by Shana King

Our take on day-to-night makeup.
You want to look fab when leaving the office, not worn down as you might feel from a long, stressful day at work.

Here’s how I glam up my day makeup:
Charcoal liner—smudge in to give yourself a smokey eye.
Blush—apply at a angle to give yourself a more dramatic cheek.
Eye Lash Curler—gives your eyes a boost.
Gloss—choose a deeper color, apply in the center of the bottom lip gives the look of a more plump lip.
Eye Brightener—widens and opens the eyes.

Brush Highlight of the Week: Eye 4—perfect to smudge and to get that smokey eye look.

Tip of the Week: Reverse lip line-use a concealer pencil to line the lip on the outside to define the lips.

The first 5 adesign customers that email me their day-to-night tricks will receive an eye# 4 brush!!!

Makeup for an outdoor event

Posted 28 August, 2008, at 01:53PM by Shana King

The hot weather isn’t over yet – so enjoy your Labor Day plans!! The Adesign crew lives in Atlanta and is constantly attending fun, outdoor festivals and events. Whether it be a concert, park festival or ball game (Go Braves Go). The temperature is breaking 100 degrees and its clearly not makeup friendly weather.

Here are some quick fixes: – Apply a mattifying product to your t-zone it helps with the shininess. – Use eye shadow primer it will prevent shadow from creasing on your eye. – No heavy eye makeup! Your’re outdoors! – Not much blush – the heat will run its course and turn those cheeks into it’s natural rosy color! – Pencil lips in with your lip liner, it will help your lip color not fade over time.

Brush Highlight of the Week: Flat Top Foundation Kabuki – great to help apply translucent powders.
Tip of the Week: Clinque’s Moisture Surge. Spritz on your face when you get over heated, it cools you off instantly.

Thanks to those that sent in pictures of their makeup bags!
Enjoy your long weekend everyone!
